WAHD402
- When changing a material, AHD can only be displayed ?The SAP error message WAHD402 typically occurs when you are trying to change a material in the system, but the system indicates that the material can only be displayed in the AHD (Application Hierarchy Data) view. This usually means that the material is in a status that does not allow for changes, or that certain conditions are preventing modifications.
Cause:
- Material Status: The material may be in a status that restricts changes. For example, it could be marked as "Blocked" or "Inactive."
- User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the material.
- Data Locking: The material might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
- Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the system may restrict changes to specific fields or views.
- Material Type Restrictions: Some material types have specific restrictions on what can be changed.
Solution:
- Check Material Status: Verify the status of the material. If it is blocked or inactive, you may need to change its status to allow modifications.
- Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to change the material. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator for assistance.
- Unlock the Material: If the material is locked, check with other users or processes that may be using it. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to view and manage locks.
- Consult Configuration: If you suspect that configuration settings are causing the issue, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to the material type and status.
- Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code for the changes you want to make. For example, use MM02 for changing material data.
- Check for Dependencies: Sometimes, changes to a material may depend on other related data. Ensure that all dependencies are satisfied before attempting to make changes.
